This old Wisconsin round barn was in pretty dilipidated shape until recently when a new roof was installed. Too often these marvels of rural architecture are left to their own devices, and the results are heartbreaking. More work still needs to be done to this old beauty, but now it has time,and can be enjoyed by a new generation....
Round barns gained a short lived popularity in the late 1800's and early 1900's because of their perceived efficiency. But the high cost of construction was a obstacle to them becoming popular...
This is the famed "Round Rock" that the city was named after. I looked it up and it seems that I didn't have the story right.
In 1851, a small community was formed on the banks of Brushy Creek, near a large round and anvil-shaped rock located in the middle of the creek. This round rock marked a convenient low-water crossing for wagons, horses, and cattle. The first postmaster called the community "Brushy," and the creek was called "Brushy Creek". But in 1854, at the suggestion of the postmaster, the small settlement was renamed Round Rock in honor of this now famous rock. After the Civil War, Jesse Chisholm began moving cattle from South Texas through Round Rock on the way to Abilene, Kansas. The route he established, which crossed Brushy Creek at the round rock, became known as the Chisholm Trail.[17] Most of the old buildings, including the old Saint Charles Hotel, have been preserved. This historic area is now called "Old Town.

Memories of Copenhagen - a beautiful town I fell in love with ;))
The circular Rundetårn (Rundetaarn / Danish for round tower) is a tower in the centre of Copenhagen, which served as a observatory of the University of Copenhagen until 1861.
It has a diameter of about 15 m and a height of 34.8 m. Apart from the last few metres, it is not climbed by stairs, but by a 209 m long spiral corridor that winds around the centre of the tower in seven and a half full turns.
This equestrian staircase made it possible to deliver books, instruments and the like by horse and carriage.
And it is said that the king he went up there comfortably by carriage, too :)

Erinnerungen an Kopenhagen - eine wunderschöne Stadt zum Verlieben ;))
Der kreisrunde Rundetårn (Rundetaarn /dänisch für Runder Turm) ist ein Turm im Stadtzentrum Kopenhagens, der bis 1861 als Observatorium der Universität Kopenhagen diente. Er besitzt einen Durchmesser von etwa 15 m und eine Höhe von 34,8 m. Bestiegen wird er, abgesehen von den letzten Metern, nicht über Treppen, sondern über einen 209 m langen, spiralförmigen Gang, der sich in siebeneinhalb vollen Drehungen um die Turmmitte windet. Diese Reittreppe ermöglichte es, Bücher, Instrumente und dergleichen per Pferdewagen anzuliefern.
Und es ist überliefert, dass König Christian IV. sich hat mit der Kutsche nach oben fahren lassen (ganz bequem - bis auf die letzten Stufen ;))
I couldn't resist the title - sorry. This shot is taken literally round the bend of the road from Farleigh Wallop on the way to Ellisfield. It is a favourite stop of mine and I am not surprised that when I have met others at this point they too say they have come out of the town just to sit at this point in the road and look back down the dip[ and up the other side of the valley.

圈圈遊戲 - 瓊妮米契爾
昨天一位小孩來到世間溜達
抓了隻蜻蜓裝進瓶子裡
天上轟隆隆的雷聲把他嚇壞
看到星星墜落又使他淚漣漣
春夏秋冬不停輪流交替
色彩繽紛的木馬上下跳躍
我們被圍困在時間的旋轉木馬
我們回不去了，只能轉身
遠望來時的方向
在這圈圈遊戲裡不斷地
轉呀，轉呀，轉……
之後幾年間這孩子搬了十次家
在十個結凍的清澈小溪上溜冰
類似“等你長大些”的話一定可以安撫他
對未來的期許築起了他的夢
如今十六個寒暑已經過去
鎮上的馬車變成了汽車
他們告訴他說：
「別急，等到你拖著腳步想讓圈圈減速時，
那天就離現在不遠了。」
時間就這樣流逝，現在男孩二十歲了
雖然在實現過程中他的夢變得黯淡
但是在最後一輪年歲結束之前
還有更新，或許更好更多的夢在等著他
